What damage can squirrels cause to your property?

Squirrels have a natural instinct to gnaw, and their teeth are strong enough to bite through various building materials. In a typical Ramsbottom attic, this often results in chewed timber joists, lead flashing, and plastic water pipes, which can lead to structural instability or internal flooding. Perhaps most dangerously, squirrels frequently gnaw through electrical wiring, stripping the insulation and creating a significant fire risk.Beyond the physical damage, squirrels can ruin loft insulation with their droppings and urine, creating unpleasant odours and potential health hazards. They are also known to be territorial and noisy, often keeping residents awake with their activity. Our grey squirrel removal service focuses on stopping this damage immediately and protecting your property from future incursions.

Our professional squirrel removal and proofing process

We follow a strict, multi-step process to ensure your squirrel problem is resolved effectively and safely. Every job begins with a comprehensive site survey. Our experts inspect your property to identify nesting sites and, crucially, the entry points squirrels are using to gain access to your home or commercial premises. We look for gaps in soffits, fascia boards, and roof tiles that may need attention.Once we have identified the cause, we use targeted, humane trapping methods. Following the removal of the pests, we provide professional-grade rodent proofing. This involves sealing all entry points with durable materials that squirrels cannot chew through. Our goal is to treat the root cause of the infestation, not just the symptoms, ensuring your property remains squirrel-free for the long term.

How do we stay compliant with UK wildlife laws?

When dealing with squirrel control in Ramsbottom, it is vital to adhere to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This legislation dictates how grey squirrels must be handled and removed. As a professional, environmentally-conscious company, Pest Medic operates in full compliance with these laws. It is a legal requirement that any grey squirrel captured must not be released back into the wild, a rule we follow strictly to protect local ecosystems.Our commitment to safety extends to our use of professional-grade biocides and equipment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our humane squirrel control and proofing services in Blackburn & Lancashire and surrounding Lancashire areas.

How do I know if I have squirrels or rats in my loft?

+

Squirrels are usually active during the day, so you will likely hear scratching and thumping noises in the morning or late afternoon. Rats are nocturnal, so you would hear them mostly at night. Squirrels also tend to make louder, heavier noises and leave larger droppings. During our initial survey, we will identify the pest for certain.

Can I just block the hole myself?

+

We advise against blocking holes until you are 100% sure the squirrels are gone. If you trap a squirrel inside, it will cause immense damage trying to chew its way out, or it may die in your wall cavity, leading to terrible smells and fly problems. We always remove the squirrels before professionally sealing the entry points.

Are your methods humane?

+

Yes, we strictly follow the law and industry best practices. We use professional traps designed to work quickly and effectively. Our team is trained to handle these situations with the utmost respect for animal welfare while following the legal requirements for managing invasive species.

How much does squirrel proofing cost?

+

The cost depends on how many entry points there are and how much damage has already been done. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after assessing your property. Investing in proofing now saves you a significant amount of money in the long run by preventing fire hazards and structural rot.
